Derek Hough Was 'Surprised' About Jake T. Austin's DWTS Elimination

Derek Hough double fists it with two large cups while heading to the dance studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon (September 21).

The 31-year-old pro dancer revealed in his TVGuide blog that he feels like a hypocrite after his foxtrot with Marilu Henner earlier this week on Dancing With The Stars.

“One of my pet peeves is when people don’t do anything at the beginning of the routine to kill time, and I kind of did that with the red cloth,” he revealed. “I was like, ‘Ugh, what am I doing?!’ I was doing everything that I hate! Such a hypocrite! But it was impossible to foxtrot to the flute portion of the song. It’s OK. We got through it!”

Derek added later about Jake T. Austin‘s elimination, “I was a bit surprised Jake was eliminated. But after thinking about it, it’s all about connecting to the audience. It’s not just about the scores. Your votes are so important and we all are truly grateful you guys take the time out to vote for us.
